Not Fair Lyrics
Oh he treats me with respect
He says he loves me all the time
He calls me 15 times a day
He likes to make sure that I'm fine
You know I've never met a man who's made me feel quite so secure
He's not like all them other boys
They're all so dumb and immature
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed you're just no good
Its such a shame
I look into your eyes I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise and its apparent it's all over
It's not fair
And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh it's not fair
And it's really not ok
It's really not ok
It's really not ok
Oh you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah all you do is take
Oh I lie here in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I spent ages giving head
Then I remember all the nice things that you ever said to me
Maybe I'm just overreacting maybe you're the one for me
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed you're just no good
It's such a shame
I look into your eyes I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise and it's apparent it's all over
It's not fair
And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean
Oh you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
You never make me scream
Oh it's not fair
And it's really not ok
It's really not ok
It's really not ok
Oh you're supposed to care
But all you do is take
Yeah all you do is take
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed you're just no good
It's such a shame
I look into your eyes I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise and its apparent it's all over

And I think you're really mean
I think you're really mean

You never make me scream

This song is so catchy!! The lyrics, the western themed music, it's all just so brilliant (and just a little dirty!)
Obviously this song needs little interpretation, girl finds perfect man of her dreams, only he is selfish and useless in the bedroom. Lily doesn't sugarcoat her lyrics, and this song is one fine example of that.
I'm not so sure that she's even saying that he's all that outside the bedroom either. Think about it - someone who calls '15 times a day' is not only insecure, they're also a bit controlling. What happens if you fail to answer one of those many calls?
Madcap, I think you're totally off the mark - what the song is showing is that despite this guy's apparent surface qualities, in some ways it's just a front. A guy who doesn't take the time to at least try to satisfy his woman the way she's tried to satisfy him, is either inexperienced (doesn't know he should) or extremely selfish (doesn't feel like he needs to). And there isn't anything in the song to indicate that his lack stems from inexperience.
The disappointment in the song is much less about physical prowess in the bedroom than about the motivation to want your partner to have as good a time as you're having - and what she's complaining about is that lack of motivation. He doesn't even seem to be noticing that she's not having a good time, much less doing much in the way of trying to 'make her scream' (with orgasm, is what she means). The follow-on being that if he doesn't care how she's feeling in the bedroom...can he really also be caring how she's feeling anywhere outside it? I think she's essentially saying that she is discovering that his caring demeanor outside the bedroom is likely only there to get her into the bedroom; and once there, his real [selfish] nature is showing itself. Ergo, he is nice...but actually, he is mean.
Touche.
Touche.
What lady CAN'T relate to this? I salute thee lily for a job well done
Suchhhhhhhh a good song :) Seems to be about a guy that is selfish in bed but is a sucker for the nice things he does for her :)
I think this song is addressed to the jerk she loved in bed, but all he did was take and take and take, and now she's stuck with this guy who's great to her emotionally, but is bland otherwise ;)

-ain't that the truth..why would guys who are good at it ever give it to just one chick?

haha i love how its got like a little western thing goin on in it, boss song
thank you lily.
Hey, wait a minute. I'm a guy and I do all the work with my girl. Something is wrong here... Great song!
Don't worry, my man isn't like this either haha, but you'd be surprised how many men are!

I don't think this song is "trash", I think it's just honest. I think there's a lot of men who would get a shock if their girlfriends were as honest and blunt as Lily is in this song, I sure know what she she's talking about!
The guy that she's with suffers from premature ejaculation. She feels jaded by this because, sexually, she gives and gives but get little, if any, in return.
haha oh man i love this one. it pretty much explains every guy. you do all the work and they just take the pleasure of it all.
